Audois Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 This was a statement from one of my students at a large Carcassonne supermarket, which left me stunned!The same supermarket are going to be putting most labels in English and are currently paying for a lot of their staff to have English lessons.Whilst I'm on the subject, does anyone know the French for 'Red Snapper'? It's not rouget ... but I can't find the French for it anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd missed the point.[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
